Mission & Focus Areas
IFA’s stated mission is “to protect, enhance and promote franchising.” Its stated vision is to be the preeminent voice and acknowledged leader for franchising worldwide. Its strategic priorities are government relations, public relations, education, and professional development.
The organization reports that its program and conference department plans training programs and the annual convention; its publications department promotes franchising to service members; and its government relations department informs members about legal and legislative matters affecting franchising and conducts research for members.
In 2025, IFA grants included general support and event sponsorships. Among the organizations receiving support, Save Local Restaurants describes its mission as educating the public and advocating on public-policy issues related to consumers, local restaurants, and workers. American Compass says it seeks to restore an economic consensus emphasizing family, community, and industry. The Institute for the American Worker says it provides research and analysis on labor legislation and promotes policies supporting collaboration between workers and job creators. Other recipients included the National Taxpayers Union, which describes its work as advocating for taxpayer interests, and Americans for Tax Reform, which says it seeks lower taxes and smaller government.
The IFA Foundation’s website describes its National Scholarship Fund as supporting students and aspiring entrepreneurs pursuing franchising, business, and entrepreneurship education, as well as franchise professionals pursuing the Certified Franchise Executive designation. The website describes these as scholarships for individuals, not grants to outside organizations.
Grantmaking
The 2025 filing reports 13 grants totaling $640,250. Grant amounts ranged from $7,000 to $165,000, with a median of $25,000.

Vernon event.
